Ask Dr. Mike: Explain Metabolic Adaptation to Ketogenic Diets

In this installment of Ask Dr. Mike, Dr. Mike addresses a Facebook fan’s question regarding metabolic adaptation to ketogenic diets.

• Ketosis is not weight loss

• Ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis are not the same and should not be confused

Keys to ketogenic success include:

1. increase fat, don’t cut calories

2. deplete glycogen stores quickly

3. keep protein in check

4. decrease calories as needed, while keeping fat up

5. give it time!
